  1. We Three Chairmen - 3044Smike

    A Warframe themed parody of:

    [ We Three Kings - John Henry Hopkins Jr. ]

    We three chairmen of the corpus board are

    traveling to Cetus, we have come far.

    With merchandises

    and absurd prices.

    Indeed we have come far;

    oh indeed we have come far.

    -----

    *Chorus*

    Fear not tenno, were here to sell,

    we know that fighting you'd be hell,

    no deceiving

    just competing

    in this small market realm.

    This lucrative market realm.

    -----

    We bring only the finest of

    the shiny new tech the Osterons want.

    In return we

    indeed yearn for

    as many credits as its worth;

    far more credits than its worth.

    -----

    *Chorus*

    -----

    Now our business shall conclude,

    back to your ship you should go too.

    We'll count our money,

    and think its funny,

    till we find out your aboard too.

    Oh god! The tenno's here too!

    ------

    Run my crew men!

    Fight for your lives!

    The tenno are here

    and they do despise

    us for cheating

    them, and Cetus,

    of all these credits.

    I don't wanna die!

    *BLECH*

     

     

  2. thanks for the input missmarifire, though im not entirely sure about the lore ideas; the concept art you made on the other hand is incredible, especially for a "quick sketch" (i'm not exactly the greatest at figure drawing)

    I look forward to your other suggestions but i am currently kinda bogged down with my college work so i might not make any changes for a bit

    any ideas for the name of that fourth ability?

  3. so my previous version of this got archived so I'm going to copy paste it all here; haven't been working on it much due to college and medical stuff I'll try to work on it as the semester progresses but probably wont be able to do a lot of work until the semester ends

     

    Warframe/Quest Concept "Wraith" -WIP-

    Started by 3044Smike, September 1, 2016

     

    The semester is over, expect more work on this during January.  That said I do have a job so some things may not be finished before the end of the break.

    So for what ever reason there is this slight hole in the lore of warframe around certain weapons called wraiths that have a fancy skin and have a built in catalyst. I figured welp you know what could help explain that a quest with a warframe attached to it that kinda make sense with what it does.

    Originally this idea started as a kinda mix between limbo and inaros before either of them came out so I apologise if there are similarities in certain aspects of the design and the artwork.

    * the -> in the stats and abilities denotes the change from unranked to rank 30 *

    Description:

      Hide contents

    Wraith is essentially a fairly fragile warframe that needs to be close to both allies and enemies encouraging very close quarters cooperative gameplay and communicating with your squad. He has a zenurik (-) polarity for his aura as he is, in the end, a close quarters support frame with lots of crowd control so a corrosive projection or enemy radar aura might be nice. He has a Vazarin (D) and a Maudrai (V) polarity slot as well, hinting torwards something like rage and vitality to give him the energy to heal his squad or a continuity and intensify to benefit all of his abilities slightly so as to encourage the use of all of his abilities rather than just one (sorry wukong #shotsfired). I see him working well along side a banshee or a valkyr providing much needed heals, energy, and occasional revives whilst not too heavily disrupting the general gameplay styles of those same frames

    Stats:

      Hide contents

    Armor: 450

    Shields: 25 -> 50

    Health: 150 -> 300

    Power: 175 -> 375

    Abilities:

      Hide contents

    Passive: Wraith has two passives the first being any excess health he picks up (say a health orb that restores 25 hp and he only needs 1 to reach full) is distributed amongst his allies (so 24 hp split between the 3 other squad members or 8 hp each); the second is an extra 50% mod capacity (basically at rank 30 you have 45 mod capacity) *not sure if stacking this with the an orokin reactor (90 mod capacity at rank 30) would be broken enough to not do it; the alternative being that the reactor doesn't stack with the passive leaving the max capacity with the reactor would be 75.

    First Ability: Shade Strike -  Wraith's shadow strikes out at a target stealing a portion of its essence and returning it to him restoring health and shields

    Deals 100 -> 350 damage to target unit restoring 75% of the damage dealt as health and shields to Wraith; but it prioritizes shields restoring them to full before restoring the any health; for instance at max rank with 50 shields and dealing 350 damage, you could restore 263, if you had taken damage and were at 25 shield it would restore the missing shield bringing it to the full 50 before restoring the remaining 238 of the damage dealt to his health. Also, the remaining hp, as according with his first passive, would be distributed amongst his squad mates once Wraith had reached max hp.

    Range 10 -> 18 meters

    25 energy cost

    Second Ability: Dark Presence - Wraith's presence on the battlefield unsettles foes slowing their reaction times and shrouding their vision

    Wraith is invisible whilst this ability is active and he is within 3 meters of an enemy unit; enemies within 12 -> 20 meters will have their weapon fire rates/ mele swing speeds slowed by 10% -> 25%

    Duration 20 -> 35 seconds

    25 energy cost

    Third Ability: Dead Zone - Wraith drains all energies both electromagnetic and void-related from an area of effect. This renders all enemies deaf and blind and disables both nullifier bubbles and eximus auras, but it also disables the casting of all warframe abilities (excluding the focus related ones) *Acts similarly to nullifier bubble for allies BUT doesn't turn off abilities that have a duration and have already been activated such as iron skin, vex armor, shooting gallery, defy, or dark presence; you just cant re-cast them whilst in the aoe.

    Range 15 -> 25 meters

    Duration 10 -> 25 seconds

    75 energy cost

    Fourth Ability: Dread Empire*placeholder name* - Wraith rips open a tear to the void itself unleashing the full might of a interdimensional celestial storm in an aoe around Wraith damaging enemies and restoring energy to allies (himself excluded) at the same rate as he expends it; however the strength required to use this ability prevents Wraith from being able to move.

    Deals 300 Radiation 50 Toxic and 100 Slash damage per second to all enemy units in the aoe *ONLY the slash damage can be increased with strength mods*

    Energy cost 2 per second, provides allies with 2 energy per second (self excluded) *small note, adding efficiency mods will decrease the energy cost and therefore decrease the ally energy restoration so a low efficiency build might be warranted.

    Range 12 ->20 meters

    In-depth Concept

      Hide contents

    Tenno, this is Wraith. He commands all energies of both our world and the void with astonishing prowess. With Shade Strike Wraith siphons the ethereal energies tied to his victims soul through their shadow dealing damage and restoring both health and shields. His Dark Presence encircles him in an aura of horror both reducing the attack speed and distorting the vision of his enemies. With Dead Zone wraith removes all ambient energies from a region blinding and deafening all who enter but at the cost of not being able to use abilities once inside. The void is a dangerous beast Tenno; Dread Empire rips open a tear directly to the void unleashing the full might of an interdimensional typhoon of energy ravaging nearby enemies and restoring the energy of Wraith's allies. Wraith's abilities can be enhanced greatly through the use of mods. Range Mods will positively benefit all of Wraith's abilities; duration mods benefit Dark Presence and Dead Zone; whilst strength mods will increase the damage dealt by both Shade Strike and Dread Empire. Wraith is strange force that is not to be underestimated. Use caution Tenno.

    Lore/Quest:

    ---WIP---Be sure to make suggestions below!---

    LORE:

         The Archimedean Parintol (who helped design both the solar rails and the sentient) had a child named Cogitarus (his name being derived from the Latin word cogitari which means thoughts). Cogitarus became an Archimedean like his father before him at a very young age, some would say prodigiously so, and helped Balas as his assistant and apprentice throughout their careers. When the time came where the Orokin began building warframes Cogitarus had the thought of making a special frame to serve as commanders in battle. He called this new class of frames "Prime". Wraith was meant to be the first prime frame, essentially to be used as a Beta Test. Cogitarus and Balas designed Wraith to have far more power than the other frames so as to assert dominance and form a chain of command. However, they couldn't find a simple way to make the abilities of Wraith powerful enough to do so. In the end, Cogitarus, under the instruction of Balas, attempted to recreate the events that occurred on the Zariman 10-0. They theorized that the raw void energies that twisted and empowered the children may have a similar effect on the frame. Things went wrong. Whilst Cogitarus was working on the chamber meant to recreate the events the machine suddenly sprang to life, and both he and Wraith, along with an assortment of tools and modified weapons, were lost. How this unfortunate incident happened is unknown, but none the less Balas saw promise in the project that he simply couldn't abandon. However, now wary of various risks involved in such a project, Balas simply mildly upgraded some of his previous creations rather than greatly empower a new one. This led to the primes we know of today.

    Due to the update with The War Within, and some apparent issues in my understanding of certain lore entries, I am re-writing this and the quest completely.

    QUEST:

        I need to completely re-write this as the majority of the quest idea that I had will no longer work with the current lore and how transference apparently works as of TWW update, I will post this eventually!

    Please be sure to leave any comments/ideas of what you think of both the general concept and lore. Also, I need a name for the fourth ability, its only called Dread Empire because originally it summoned "demons" with Dread bows (stalker specters), but I threw that idea out long ago.

  4. Still no fix for the controller crouch bug or

    Spoiler

    The game no longer being playable due to an issue with the activate transference button not working if you have ever used a controller on your account. Originally I thought this was because it wasn't bound but I found that if you spammed the esc button hard enough before "discovering" your transference powers on the liset you could bring up a partial pause menu, like earlier in the mission. From there you can bind something on your controller/keyboard but then it just plain doesn't work. You can force-quit via alt f4 or taskmanager but when you log back in it takes you back to the same point making it impossible to play the game anymore. As a test I left my game on the tranferrence button screen whilst I slept last night and it has been 7 hours with no change. As there is no way to tell warframe you aren't using a controller, even when I re-start my computer without the controller attached and try to play I come to the same issue and it trys to tell me to use " " for everything (the tutorial buttons don't always show up correctly)

    As for the controller crouch bug, you basically cant crouch as a tenno if you use a controller unless you press the toggle crouch key on your keyboard

    I hope this gets fixed soon as id rather not start a new account from scratch without using a controller just to be able to play this quest

     

    So I figured out that if you completely power off your computer (not re-start) with your wifi set to airplane mode and your controller disconnected, you can then turn your computer back on launch warframe log in, spam esc to open the pause menu as soon as the cutscene ends turn on "use power on selection" set all the bindings that you need in keybindings (not controller) save the settings, alt f4 out of the game, re-launch and play through the rest of the quest just fine. This was after having the game loaded at the afore mentioned screen for roughly 7 hours ( I went to bed) but I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it

  5. The War Within has completely broken the game

    this is like the 8th place ive posted this, including in a support ticket so I hope it gets fixed soon

    Spoiler

    The game is literally unplayable if you have ever used a controller on your account as the only keyboard button that works is toggle crouch (during the quest as a tenno) Also none of the tutorial thing have any correct buttons bound making you have to guess what buttons to press. Crouching doesn't work as a tenno. Activating transference isn't bound to a controller. If you do bind it to a controller input it doesn't work when you press it. If you disconnect the controller and/or don't use a controller but have at any given point in time for any length of time used a controller it doesn't work either. If you alt f4 or use the taskmanager to quit (as its the only thing you can do once the press "" for transferrenc thing shows up) when you log back in it takes youback to that same point giving you approx. 1 minute of gameplay before you have to re-force-quit.

    I hope this gets fixed soon id like to play this game it was fun but I'm not making a new account from scratch just because I used a controller once.

    The part of the quest ive seen so far was great though so well done on that part

  6. Quote

    this is supposed to be a spoiler tag but i dont know why it keeps putting a quote

    .

    The game is literally unplayable, id very much like to play it but i have been stuck at the "activate transferrence screen for the past hour because i use a controller to play this game, even without the controller plugged i  the game remebers that i used a controller once on my account and it is unplayable

    the issue is that the activate transferrence button is bound to the (5 key on the keyboard this is not bound to anything on the controller, if you do have it bound it doesnt work, ifalsio if you try to crouch it doesnt work you have to use the toggle crouch button on your keyboard i can open clan chat i can open my completly empty gear me u and i can force quit the game via alt f4 or task manager that is now the extent of my warframe experience as when you relogg your brought back to the same point and can do nothing u till this is fixed thanks de for the fu  but i physically cannot play untill thos bug is fixed gg wp

     

     

  7. The War Within is not completable if you have ever used a controller on your account

    Spoiler

    If you have ever used a controller on your account, none of the tutorial things show any of the correct bindings, you cannot use any of the keyboard buttons except toggle crouch, crouching doesn't work as a tenno which means you cant enter void mode or void dash unless you use the toggle crouch key if its bound, and the use transference button is completely broken, no matter wether you have it bound or not it doesn't work no matter how hard or what button you press you can literally press every button on the keyboard and your controller at the same time and the only thing that will pop up is the gear menu which Is completely empty.

    You can alt f4 to close the game as its the only thing you can do at that point but as soon as you log back in you get thrown back into the liset and "rediscover" you powers with a couple of unskippable cutscenes and then you can alt f4 again. The game is literally unplayable anymore I cant even open the pause menu RIP Warframe 2012-2016 it was fun while it lasted

    also every weapon still has holster issues from sonicor to ninkana to dread to tonfas. Thanks for the update still wish I could play it. Guess ill just wait for the next update before I can even play the game again.

  8. So a few small things to note, the first the steam overlay is completly screwed over, second random things open in the realys when you go anywhere near the eleveators, third chat randomly closes while your typing causing you to hit all the buttons and do all the thing whilst typing, fourth if you have a custom holster equipped the y is maxed out no matter what you do so you can no longer actually customise the holster position, my rhino now has a ninkana sticking through his neck and chest, fifth all operators need to completly re-do their looks, from face choice to hair choice to color choice partially because of the new lighting and partially because if you dont htey will all be set to the defaults for what ever reason when you try to do any missions or quest, sixth kavats are buggy for what ever reason, un-equipping and re-equipping them as your companion seems to work fine, and finaly thank you DE for this update i cant wait untill this stuff gets fixed so i can enjoy the update

     

    So I already posted this on the update notes but I was told that its supposed to go here so sorry for the double post. Also my clan emblem has disappeared and apparently people aren't getting any rewards for completing the quest but that seems to be a common issue.

  9. So a few small things to note, the first the steam overlay is completly screwed over, second random things open in the realys when you go anywhere near the eleveators, third chat randomly closes while your typing causing you to hit all the buttons and do all the thing whilst typing, fourth if you have a custom holster equipped the y is maxed out no matter what you do so you can no longer actually customise the holster position, my rhino now has a ninkana sticking through his neck and chest, fifth all operators need to completly re-do their looks, from face choice to hair choice to color choice partially because of the new lighting and partially because if you dont htey will all be set to the defaults for what ever reason when you try to do any missions or quest, sixth kavats are buggy for what ever reason, un-equipping and re-equipping them as your companion seems to work fine, and finaly thank you DE for this update i cant wait untill this stuff gets fixed so i can enjoy the update

    Uhh exactly what element or theme is he?

    the theme is sorta darkmatter/void energy manipulation, though it is kind of... ill say undefined, as there is no real world research or anything to base his powers off of

    hes still very much a work in progress though

  11. I like the concept but would enigma be in the jungle?

    <(o.o<) Enigma in the jungle (>o.o)>

    ... sorry had to put this here....

     

    On a more serious note, I enjoy the ideas behind the frame. Unfortunately, the lore needs to be slightly updated due to the Second Dream quest basically contradicting your lore entry in its entirety.

  12. I feel the name needs to be different as there are already "wraith" weapons in the game. Or, you could try adding some sort of lore to tie the frame to said wraith weapons, as I have in frame concept, also entitled "Wraith"

    the general idea does sound cool though, kinda like an elemental rework for limbo, but less trolly

  13. So every now and again, ever since I completed the second dream quest, when I come back to my liset from a mission ill get this little box and tenno script will pop up saying like 3 words which I haven't had the trigger finger to screenshot and then it fades away. Earlier today coming back from my dojo a few more than three words showed up, I took two screen shots of it and managed to translate the first part but the majority of it was too faded away for me to be able to do anything with. I'll put the links to my screenshots (shared through steam) in a spoiler here, but first the part I translated:

    [VIDEO LINK SEVERED]

    REASON: Foreign carrier detected. Orokin Anon. suspicion; tracing signal.

    Reinitializing dipolar recoupling on naval carrier. Bio in standby for second check and sync...
     

    I believe that this is referring to an attempt from some third party anonymous orkoin attempting to trace my liset's movements and was wondering how many other players were seeing this.

    I also believe that since this didn't happen before I completed the second dream quest, this probably has something to do with THE WAR WITHIN and/or the lore around it.

    So apparently this is something to do with the second dream which, while mildly upsetting, is pretty cool. Has anyone gotten the full translation on hand?

    Also apparently Anon. is supposed to be anonomus or unknown not Anon soooo... my B.

  14. I don't know why but for what ever reason when the titania noble stance is equipped on a warframe other than titania and you are playing solo on the raptor boss fight on nemes in Europa; the amount of time it takes for a raptor to spawn after being killed increases by 3 full seconds, meaning that the shield doesn't go down for 3 more seconds, resulting in the reactor exploding before the shield goes down. This causes the fight to become un-endable unless you either abort of die whilst trying to figure out whats wrong for 2 hours straight... ( I may have done that). I tried it again with the exact same loadout (rhino, the wraith shotgun with a name that escapes me at the moment, wraith twin vipers, and broken war) with the ash noble stance instead of the titania one and completed the fight on my first try. I also tried it with the titania stance whilst with another player and it seemed to work fine there as well so this only effects players in SOLO, which granted isn't many but I feel like this might be something that needs to be fixed.

    Thank you,

    A lonely floating gold colored rhino trapped in a cycle of endless explosions and the occasional death and his favorite kavat
